SCHOOL OF PREHISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE CAVES OF FUENTES DE LEON

This Youth Volunteer Camp is developed in a space of high ecological value: “Cuevas de Fuentes de León Natural Monument”, in which traditional uses and customs of agricultural, livestock and exploitation of natural resources are preserved, together with the maintenance of various elements of the Historical Heritage of Extremadura perfectly integrated into its landscape.

The volunteers will take part in the research process, integrating from the first

moment into the team that coordinates and develops the scheduled archaeological

excavations, thereby developing the entire range of activities required by the specific

methodology of the excavation process in prehistoric contexts.

The archaeological excavation work will be combined with other activities such as processing and

analysing the materials extracted: palaeontological, anthropological and archaeological material.

A series of training activities will be programmed on work and study techniques in archaeology.

Additionally, leisure and free time activities adapted to the profile of the participants will be carried out, with the aim of energizing and providing group cohesion, as well as promoting social values.
